Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 14 Comments/ 598

As you could tell from my last post we drove part of the Blue Ridge Parkway last week. We drove it during the week (the good part of having a husband who has his own consulting business and can schedule things himself) and while it Continue reading →
